EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment during the Sierra Leone Troubles, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century. The image showcases a group of brave soldiers from various regiments, including the Scottish Rifles, Shropshire Light Infantry, Nottinghamshire Rifles, and Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), gathered at the source of the Niger River. Amongst them stand notable figures such as Captain Marescaux, Lieutenant H. E. Green, Lieutenant Bailey, Lieutenant P. Allen, and Lieutenant O'Flaherty. Their determined expressions reflect their commitment to duty amidst challenging circumstances. The composition emphasizes unity as these men come together to face adversity in a foreign land. They represent not only their respective regiments but also their nation's unwavering resolve to restore peace and stability in Sierra Leone. Published originally as an illustration for The Graphic on May 6th, 1899; this photograph serves as a historical record of those tumultuous times. It offers us a glimpse into the courage and sacrifice exhibited by these soldiers who left behind their homes to confront conflict thousands of miles away. Preserved within a private collection today but available for public viewing through Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection; this print reminds us of the power that photography holds in documenting history's most pivotal moments – allowing future generations to appreciate both triumphs and tribulations faced by those who came before us.
